I have a question about a source for the makeup of colonial Virginia during the eighteenth century. I have some notes describing the "Planter Elite," but no source!
The description of the social categories are:
Among the whites, gentry are 5%.
Small landowners 50%
Tenants 20%
Poor whites 25%
I would like to use some of these approximate figures in my research, but am wondering if anyone knows of a source for this, or similar, breakdown?
Thanks,
Roger Mellen
